Day two, hitting the desert gravel trail. Click here for a video of our adventure trip from Bolivia to Chile. Our driver Mario somehow managed to be both totally incompetent as well as being the guy who would get us through the roadless desolate desert, hitting up remarkable nature along the way. The jeep wasn’t […]

From the water balloons of Sucre we headed to the Salt Flats of Uyuni. Potosí, one of the highest cities in the world, was en route, but we decided not to stop by partly because the top attraction is to watch exploited mine workers in the mines, partly because talk of road blockades was always […]

Bolivia was going through a bit of a rough time while we were there. There was a big referendum hoping to be passed February 21 which, among other things, would allow the presidential term to be extended, again (Evo Morales has served as president since 2006). When we were in La Paz, nationwide strikes were […]

February 3, 2016 We hurriedly packed to the chorus of loud firecrackers and protest shouts, Gotan Project being our chosen soundtrack. As our taxi pulled away from the hostel, we saw the result of eggs being hurled at the tax-office next door to our place, a mural of yolk and evidence of broken windows. It […]

From Copacabana we headed south to the highest capital in the world, La Paz. The five-hour ride was pretty uneventful aside from when the entire bus inexplicably emptied (leaving us scrambling to put our shoes on and follow) and we boarded a speedboat and our bus took a ferry across a 500m stretch of water.

From Arequipa we were off to our last stop in Peru, Puno. Puno is of little interest other than a jumping off point to Bolivia, and we planned to spend less than 24 hours in the small city. Puno’s Cathedral Puno also has a Bolivian consulate where U.S. Citizens can get their Bolivian visa. Europeans […]
